Written by Thistle Initiatives - Compliance consultancy | 25 September 2025

We’re pleased to announce that Thistle Initiatives is now an affiliate member of the Consumer Duty Alliance (CDA), an independent professional body dedicated to raising standards of customer care across financial services.

The CDA provides a collaborative platform for firms to share insights, engage with regulators, and access practical support on meeting Consumer Duty requirements. By bringing together industry expertise, it helps shape best practice and drive positive outcomes for consumers.

As an associate member, we look forward to contributing to this important dialogue, supporting firms with the implementation of the Duty, and working alongside peers to promote trust, transparency and professionalism across the sector.
